Wenners van die verskillende kategorieë in Graan SA se Groei vir Goud- nasionale opbrengskompetisie is op 22 September tydens ’n geleentheid by Muldersdrift aangekondig. Die deelnemers het weer eens bewys dat Suid-Afrikaanse produsente aanhou innoveer én by mekaar kan leer. Nie minder nie as elf nuwe rekords is in die onderskeie kategorieë aangeteken, en gars het ook vir die eerste keer deel gevorm van die kompetisie. Dit was boonop ’n jaar waar die meeste inskrywings nóg ontvang is. Die inskrywings het met sowat 30 geklim tot by 110. Toekomstige kategorieë vir kanola en grondbone word tans ondersoek.
Winners in the various categories of Grain SA’s Grow for Gold national yield competition were announced on 22 September during an event held in Muldersdrift. Once again, the participants proved that South African producers continue to innovate and learn from one another. No fewer than eleven new records were set across the various categories, while barley also formed part of the competition for the first time. It was also a record year in terms of entries, with the number increasing by around 30 to reach 110. Potential future categories for canola and groundnuts are currently being investigated.

🌱 Goeie snywurmbeheer begin lank voordat skade sigbaar is.
Snywurms kan ontkiemende saailinge oornag vernietig en ’n goeie begin van die seisoen in ’n duur herplantingsproses verander. Daarom is doeltreffende snywurmbeheer nie net ’n plaagbeheeraktiwiteit nie, maar ook ’n strategiese risikobestuurspraktyk.
Produsente wat vroeë monitering, onkruidbeheer, residue-monitering en gereelde landinspeksies prioritiseer, is beter geposisioneer om risiko's te identifiseer voordat beduidende verliese voorkom. ’n Paar uur wat vandag aan landverkenning bestee word, kan help om môre duur verliese te voorkom.
Lees ons infografika vir belangrike insigte oor snywurmbiologie, monitering en bestuurspraktyke wat kan help om u gewasvestiging te beskerm.

Graan SA se uitvoerende hoof, Tobias Doyer, het vandag tydens die Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth konferensie in Kaapstad as spreker opgetree.
Sy aanbieding, “The Changing Face of Global Agriculture – What Does It Mean for Agricultural Societies, Shows & Fairs?”, het gefokus op die veranderende wêreldlandboulandskap en hoe landbouverenigings, skoue en uitstallings by hierdie veranderinge kan aanpas om die bedryf vorentoe te neem.
As organisasie wat hom beywer vir die ontwikkeling en ondersteuning van graanprodusente, bly Grain SA verbind tot die bevordering van 'n sterk, volhoubare en inklusiewe landbousektor. Deur samewerking, kennisdeling en innovasie, asook platforms soos NAMPO, help ons om produsente met nuwe geleenthede te verbind en die toekoms van landbou saam te vorm. 🌱
Graan SA verwelkom Agri SA se steun vir ons standpunt oor sojaboon-liggingsdifferensiale. Landbouprysmeganismes moet billik en deursigtig wees en werklike marktoestande weerspieël.
Agter elke prysmeganisme staan ’n produsent wie se winsgewendheid, risikobestuur en vermoë om weer te plant, daardeur geraak word.
Voor die interdikverhoor op 6 November bly ons boodskap duidelik: Produsente se belange moet gehoor word. Billike prysvorming is noodsaaklik vir die volhoubaarheid van plaaslike graanproduksie.
Dankie aan AgriSA wat saam met ons vir Suid-Afrika se produsente opstaan.

AgriSA supports Grain SA's call for fair, transparent agricultural pricing and urges constructive engagement with the JSE on soybean location differentials.
Suid-Afrika bly vir die 2026/2027-seisoen ’n netto-invoerder van koring, terwyl koringaanplantings op die laagste vlak in 97 jaar staan. Lees in SA Graan/Grain hoe internasionale prysrisiko's, Swartsee-konflikte en VSA-droogtes binnelandse invoerpariteit beïnvloed, en waarvoor produsente in 2027 op die uitkyk moet wees.

What does a farmer need to turn a good harvest into a profitable season?
It starts before planting: finance to buy inputs, sound production decisions and knowing what buyers require. At harvest, reliable storage and transport are just as important.
At the recent AGDA - Agricultural Development Agency conference, Grain SA CEO Dr Tobias Doyer highlighted the tools and skills farmers need to compete commercially. Government and industry need to work together so farmers can produce on time, keep costs manageable and get their crops to market.
’n Spesiale woord van dank aan elke borg, vennoot en medewerker wat bygedra het om hierdie aand moontlik te maak.…🏆 Pieter Nortje of Sitrusrand Boerdery, Eastern Cape, is the 2026 Grain SA/Syngenta Grain Producer of the Year!
